Maybe we have to rethink our economic system so that producing more humans just to create new customers is a perverse incentive.

Less humans means less demand means less work. In our current paradigm, this is a problem. In a healthy paradigm, it is a solution.

Less people? Rebalance human development with nature. Less consumption of resources? Wonderful. Less jobs? Great, let's all work less and live more.

Many would call this utopia, I call it sanity. I'd also say that couple not reproducing or doing so at increasingly old age, is the ultimate sign of how our economic system doesn't even support one of the most natural things there are: to form a family. It is openly hostile to this option.

And we want do double down on that? The trend of economic security is going to be even less, not more.
